Stressed at work? Study says a sweet drink could help.

A recent study found sugary beverages can help ease tension at work and make employees less argumentative.

The findings note sugar in drinks like sweet tea give employees an energy surge that allows their brains to control impulses and prevent them from reacting too quickly in stressful situations. These findings are contrary to the usual belief that sugar causes a rush roller coaster that could make people snap or act spontaneously.

So a sweet drink before a big meeting or during a stressful work day may help your mental health and stability in the office. What do you think of this study? Do you drink sweet drinks at work? Are you willing to give this a try? Let us know under "comments".

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 90 Days in Jail

After Lohan's plea to the judge, the judge issued her sentence for Lohan's repeated probation violations, recounting a list of instances in which Lohan lied to the court and to law enforcement.

Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in a rehab facility. Watch the video below for the sentencing.

Lohan is scheduled to surrender to authorities July 20 and will be housed at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, in a wing that is separate from the rest of the jail population. She is expected to serve only a fraction of the 90 days because of severe jail overcrowding.

Back on Track - Post Holiday Breakfast

We hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

One often overindulges during the holidays and is left feeling somewhat sluggish post-holiday. Get back on track and re-energize with a healthy smart breakfast!

We recommend:

Yogurt filled cantaloupe - Cut a cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds. Fill the hole with six ounces of nonfat Greek vanilla yogurt. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of granola and five fresh raspberries.

Use a spoon to scoop bites right out of the cantaloupe peel. You don't even need to bother with dirtying a dish.

Protein Pancakes - 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 mashed banana, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbs flaxseed, Add a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries after the above ingredients are mixed together.

Pour into a pan that has been sprayed with olive oil cooking spray- heat on medium. Cook one side until you see little bubbles. Flip over and cook on the other size until the middle is done. Top with two sliced strawberries and powdered stevia.

Another great staple is steel cut oatmeal made with almond or soy milk and topped with blueberries and almonds.
